This feature is totally useless in Firefox as it blocks critical information on the cookie. It is missing information like the XFR_Token that is required! Why is this tool so useless and broken? Why do I have to go to another browser to get a cookie for a site because Firefox does not give all cookie information?

Firefox Quantum v. 65 allows the user to block "all cookies (will cause websites to break)". However, a cookie designated "marketingapis.com" continues to appear in the list of cookies whenever the browser is used. When attempting to block the cookie through the managing permissions option, the blocked cookie disappears from the list of blocked cookie list and appears in the regular cookie list whenever the browser is subsequently relaunched. I would be grateful for any advice how to prevent this cookie from reappearing.

If this is a cookie set by Firefox, information should be disclosed upfront, and users should have a method to prevent its use (or opt out) for all purposes.

When I delete Firefox cookies, I would like to delete only selected cookies, which would be about 98% of them. There are a few web sites that use stored cookies to let me log in faster, if they don't find their cookies I have to get an email, text or phone call to log in. In past I used CCleaner which had a list of cookies to keep. Past several months CCleaner isn't even listing that it see any cookies, others are seeing the same thing- it just not deleting cookies for IE, Chrome or Firefox.

Question, is there a way with standard Firefox to delete cookies on close, but have a list to save and not delete? I see where to create list to allow, allow for session or block. But I am thinking that list isn't for keeping if I were to click on "clear data" or check the option to "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed".

Bleachbit will clear cookies, but it doesn't give you options to save certain cookies. There may be some plugin/addons to FF, but I get nervous about all the options they need like view all data. I understand why, but would rather do it all within FF standard code.

Trying to get into my tax program that states "No cookies". I'm given the above directions. However, the last two requirements about checking the box and then "OK" do not exist/show in Firefox. Therefore, I can't access the program.

I am running Selenium automated tests in Firefox. The problem is that, when running tests on Firefox, the browser is open in "Browser is under remote control" mode and then the session cookies are not kept when the browser is closed.

If I authenticate on my web app out of this "Browser is under remote control" mode, the ai_session cookie is kept as expected. It only is discarded when I am on that mode.

Taking that into account:

1. Is there a way to configure Firefox to keep session cookies even when running in the "Remote control" mode?
2. When configuring Selenium WebDriver, is there some option that allows me to force the browser to keep the session cookies?

Recently I began having trouble with goclio.com logging out every time I close firefox. I did the suggested:

Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address bar.

The button next to History, select Use Custom Settings.

Turn off Always Use Private Browsing Mode Turn on Remember My Browsing And Download History At the bottom of the page, turn on Clear History When Firefox Closes. At the far right, press the Settings button. Turn on ONLY Cache and Form And Search History leaving the others off.

with no luck. This doesn't happen in Chrome. I've cleared the cache, etc. but still same issue.

This is what it shows: Your stored cookies, site data and cache are currently using 5.5 MB of disk space. After I click the clear button. The 5.5MB is under the cached content. There is nothing under the manage data tab. I've cleared the history and nothing shows there. Should there be 5.5MB disk space being used after I click the clear data tab? If not, why doesn't it clear?

Good day guys ,

Basically what I want is to make facebook.com logout when I close firefox and enter again.
This should be possible by just going to >Cookies and site data >Manage permissions and blocking cookies for facebook.com but the problem is this option for firefox is completely useless , doesn't do absolutely anything as I'm still getting cookies saved from facebook.com , therefore every time I open firefox again my facebook is already logged in.

Is there any alternative solutions to this besides checking the box "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" ???

Because I don't want that either...cause that means I have to log into every site separately every time I open again firefox...I only want to do that for Firefox.

Can someone advise on how best to transfer to a new computer ALL settings I have.

I have many websites I use and sign into.
They all rely on tracking you and making sure its you.

While this is a good thing, but the problem is when I want to use a new computer.
I now have to jump through many hoops and verify by mobile. For my bank, I even have to wait for a new code through the post.

Whenever I try to access my college account, which requires multi-factor authentication, it does not load properly. When I arrive at the site, I input my credentials and then the login box should expand and ask whether I would like a "text, passcode, or push to phone authentication" however that quickly expands/loads and then disappears on Firefox. I tried it on Firefox on my iPhone with the same results... however... It works fine on Firefox focus.

I've gone through and disable various security features, such as accepting more cookies etc., but nothing seems to change.

My Firebox settings is : accept the cookies for the session only. At the end of each session the cookies per se are deleted which is fine but the cookies files remain as empty files (0 k). Why ? I have to use a third party (Like CCleaner) to delete those files.

I normally block all cookies. That means that to use some site I have to temporarily accept cookies.

When I block them again my preference to block all cookies is never saved, but always defaults to just blocking third party trackers. It then also resets the separate preference for third party cookies to trackers only (though that becomes moot once I block all cookies).

In previous versions this was something you could just toggle between block/accept and the specific preferences stuck, so I'm hoping I'm experiencing a bug rather than a (stupid) design choice.
